 Not All Computers Recognize This July 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After purchasing this item, I found I could not get my computer to recognize it. There are no drivers available for it, and after some research, I found this was a common problem with this item. I also tried it on my father's computer, with no luck.
 Works (for a while) and it's less expensive than a new keyboard June 25, 2008
I liked my old PS/2 keyboard, but it wouldn't connect to my desktop-replacement 17" Dell laptop. So I turned to this adapter cable. I only needed one of the PS/2 connections. Good thing, because the other one is evidently not working properly. It works ok at first and then at least one key (not always the same one) will fail to work until the keyboard is disconnected then reconnected. Short story is that it got the job done less expensively than a new keyboard.
Update: Late October, 2008 - My keyboard stopped working. I haven't done extensive testing, but my assumption is that this adapter has completely failed. I ended up getting a new native usb keyboard. If I had the opportunity to change my star rating it would be max of 2 stars.

I spend a lot of time at Office Depot, Office Max, and Staples looking for things that I want to buy. When I find something that I want, I take down the name of the product, and buy a similar product on Amazon. I do this because I like to see what I'm buying before I buy it, and Amazon offers lower prices than the stores.
Case in point, a similar item sells for $20 at Office Max and $30 at Staples, sells for $6 on Amazon.
The USB to PS/2 converter works like a charm for my Microsoft Ergonomic PS/2 Keyboard. I don't have any problems with it. I have a Compaq laptop that runs on Windows Vista Business.
low cost alternative to buying a new USB-only keyboard May 8, 2008
I wanted to use my nice Gateway keyboard, with a PS2 plug, with my Dell desktop, with only USB ports. I hooked the two devices up with the Sabrent PS2 / USB adaptor, booted up the Dell, and immediately got WinXP recognizing a `new device'. My first few keystrokes with MS Word were a bit odd, showing up in purple font, but then they turned to black and from then on, all was good.
I did have trouble with the PS2 attachment working loose when shoving my PC back into its slot under my desk, with all the other wires and cables dangling from the back of my desktop tangling up and pulling one way or the other. So if you try the adaptor out and it's not working well, make sure you've got it securely attached to either port.
Very good product! April 5, 2008
Excellent! it works perfectly with my 17" Compaq Presario. I originally bouthgt it to use it with my KVM cable, but it just don't do it. I know it doesn't say it does, but it would be even better if so.
